One-time Everton outcast Oumar Niasse earned his way into Ronald Koeman’s good books as he bagged a late brace against Bournemouth to seal all three points.

The visiting Cherries had originally taken a first half lead courtesy of Josh King’s low strike into the bottom corner.

Everton, who had been struggling for form of late, were then handed a vital lifeline as Niasse – who wasn’t even given a squad number at the start of the season – turned in an equaliser in the 76th minute.

The forward, who spent the second half of last season on loan at Hull City, then bundled in the winner with just nine minutes remaining of normal time.
